General News of Thursday, 2 April 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comA growing concern about Ghana’s dependence on foreign aid is being brought back into focus, as Rev Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong warns that the trend is quietly limiting the country’s ability to make firm, independent decisions. According to him, Ghana’s struggle to fully implement certain policies, including the LGBTQ Bill, cannot be separated from its reliance on international partners, particularly the European Union and the United States. He explained that this reality cuts across sectors, with a significant portion of Ghana’s education and healthcare infrastructure still supported by foreign donors. Rev Opuni-Frimpong also revisited the vision of “Ghana Beyond Aid,” describing it as a bold and necessary agenda that has yet to be fully realised. He is therefore calling on leadership, particularly President John Dramani Mahama, to make tough but strategic decisions that will reduce reliance on foreign support and build a more resilient economy.
